Bringing Crypto to Kyrgyzstan: Binance Partners for Payment Infrastructure and Education
Kyrgyzstan teams up with Binance to establish a country-wide cryptocurrency payment system.
Binance is teaming up with the Kyrgyz Republic government to bolster its digital asset sector. This partnership focuses on two pivotal aspects: implementing crypto payments and increasing digital literacy through education.
Streamlined Crypto Transactions with Binance Pay
As part of this collaboration, Binance will introduce Binance Pay, a service that enables users to easily make and receive payments in various cryptocurrencies. This move aims to simplify transactions for residents and visitors within Kyrgyzstan itself, but also across Central Asia and the Eurasian Economic Union, promoting regional digital economic integration.

This initiative aligns with Kyrgyzstan’s broader digital asset development strategy, as the country looks toward the legal recognition of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), the digital som. [4]
Building Blockchain Knowledge with Binance Academy
In partnership with Kyrgyz government agencies and financial institutions, Binance Academy will develop blockchain and digital asset educational programs. The goal is to create local expertise and support the adoption of blockchain technology and crypto assets within Kyrgyzstan's economy. [1][2]
Expert Advisory on Kyrgyz Crypto Regulations
Binance will also play an advisory role in shaping Kyrgyzstan’s digital asset regulations, contributing its expertise to foster a regulatory environment conducive to crypto adoption and development. Former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao is personally involved in advising the Kyrgyz government on blockchain and crypto regulatory matters following the signing of the memorandum of understanding (MoU).
